Product Use |
Magnesium hydroxide, also known as milk of magnesia, is a white inorganic compound that is primarily produced from brine water by reacting it with calcium hydroxide. It can also be obtained by treating magnesium chloride with lime or dolomite. These methods of production result in a high purity magnesium hydroxide powder in a fine crystalline form.
Another method of producing magnesium hydroxide is through the electrolytic method, which involves passing an electric current through a magnesium chloride solution to separate the magnesium and hydroxide ions. This method is generally considered a more environmentally-friendly way of producing magnesium hydroxide.
Sourcing of magnesium hydroxide is primarily from natural sources such as brine water, sea water, and dolomite rocks. The major producers of magnesium hydroxide are China, Russia, and Israel. The compound is also extracted from seawater in the Dead Sea region of Israel.
